• There are camping facilities in the nature reserve at Dana and also in the Wadi Rum desert. Contact RSCN's Tourism Unit in Amman on (962) 6 837 931/2 (fax (962) 6 847 411) for information about other sites. Accommodation is also available at the visitor centre in Dana on a promontory looking over the Great Rift Valley. That's something not to be missed.

• For camping in Jordan, contact Nyazi Shabaan of Nyazi Tours in Aqaba. He is most familiar with South Jordan, Dana, Petra and Wadi Rum but could probably arrange anything. Email him nyazi@index.com.jo, telephone 952 3 202 2801 or write to PO Box 1136 Aqaba. For camping in Wadi Rum, try Ali Hillawi at the Rest House. The telephone number is 962 3 201 8867 or write to PO Box 114 Aqaba. For camping in the national parks, ask Qusai Ahmed at the Royal Society for Protection of Nature, email tourism@rscn.org.jo.
